This week, let’s learn more about the fifth type of body constitution<\/a> \u2013 Qi Stagnation (\u6c14\u90c1\u4f53\u8d28).<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div><\/div>
In a healthy person, the Qi flow is smooth and unobstructed.<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div><\/div>
Qi stagnation happens when the Qi can\u2019t flow smoothly throughout the body, most particularly in the liver and heart meridian.<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div><\/div>
One of the most common causes for Qi stagnation is related to one\u2019s emotional and mental state. Our world today is moving at a very fast pace and this causes a high level of stress and anxiety in people\u2019s lives. Over time, this stress affects how Qi flows in the body and can lead to Qi stagnation.<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div><\/div>
Apart from stress, unhealthy eating habits and poor lifestyle choices such as sleeping late also contribute to Qi stagnation in the body.<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div><\/div>
The following symptoms are some of the obvious signs of a person with Qi stagnation body constitution:<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div><\/div>
1. Get nervous or frightened easily –<\/strong> If the same event were to happen to two people (one of Qi stagnation body type and the other of balanced body type), the person with Qi stagnation body type will get anxious or feel fearful more easily than the person with balanced body type.<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div><\/div>
2. Emotionally fragile –<\/strong> People with Qi stagnation body constitution are more emotionally fragile as compared to others. They are also more likely to sigh for no reason. This is because of Qi stagnation in the liver.<\/div>
